What will you learn?
Discover the seven essential steps to build a thriving art career through our comprehensive 7-module program. Each module is designed to be completed at your own pace, ideally on a weekly basis, providing you with a clear work path to develop your art business.
Whether you’re just starting or have been on this journey for a while, our program is tailored to empower artists at any point in their careers.
Whether you’re just starting your journey to becoming a professional artist, or if you’ve been doing it for a while but not getting very far, this week is packed full of great learnings to start you off or get you back onto the right path.
We’ll go over setting clear goals for your art career and creating a pathway to achieve them!
You’ll also learn how to connect with artists from all over the world and all the activities available for members of the ARTIST STOP BEING POOR community.
To build a solid art career, we need to have a solid foundation to build upon. This week we’ll go over how to organize the ‘office’ side of your art career. While not the most glamorous side of your career, having this taken care of helps you focus all your energy on creating and promoting your art.
By the end of the week you’ll have all the templates and databases you’ll need to take over the art world.
This is where the real fun part starts. We’ll walk through how you can build an ‘Artist Brand’ (far more enjoyable than you might think!) and get your personality across in all your communications without sounding spammy or needy.
Your brand is more than just the art itself – it’s how you talk about it, about yourself, how you look, dress, what fonts you use, what your artist logo is.
We’ll also go in-depth on one of the single most important assets you’ll ever create – your introduction video!
This week is all about taking your art and sharing it with the world with all the learnings from Week 3.
We’ll choose the perfect communications channels for you and your art, focusing on your strengths – whether it’s written comms / emails, or video making, or great photography…
The key lies in keeping people informed by bringing them into your artistic lifestyle – not spamming them with news but giving them valuable content.
We’ll also cover strategies to reach a wider audience with your art, so you can start growing!
Now we’re talking about making some money from your art!
One of the things that puts off a lot of artists is the fear that, while members of the public might like their art, they’re not going to spend money on it.
This fear is unfounded! There is a constant, growing demand for great original art. You are there to fulfil that demand – you just need to find it.
So in Week 5 we’ll put your art up for sale. We’ll analyze all the existing platforms and choose the best strategies to fit your artistic style and brand.
Part of this includes working out whether you need your own website – and, if you do, how to build it without breaking the bank!
In the final week of our Bootcamp, we’re gonna look into the future and explore how to leverage what we learned over the last 6 weeks to build a long-term art career.
We do this by establishing new professional partnerships, art exhibitions, and relationships with galleries and curators.
In this extra week of our Bootcamp, we’re talk about the new format taking the art world by storm, NFT’s. Learn about how this new format works, the technology around it and how to plan, create and launch your NFT project.
